watercolor + ink: classic halloween treats

it was a rainy weekend on the hill.

we got super cozy in the treehouse, opting to stay home for a few days while water poured out of the sky sideways.

saturday afternoon, i pulled out my watercolors and created a few sketchbook paintings of my favorite halloween sweets...


close up snaps of the delights...






note: the last picture inspired me to choose caramels as my treat to make this year.

today: i got really excited about this choice and stocked up on heavy cream, wax paper, and treat bags.

later this week: a forthcoming post about my astonishing repository of caramel recipes and my first attempt at making homemade caramels.
